Method
Pork Filling
1
Toss the cubed pork belly or shoulder with the salt, cumin powder, and dried oregano until evenly coated.
2
Melt the lard in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork cubes and cook for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pork is deeply browned, crispy on the edges, and fully rendered.
Egg Shells
3
While the pork cooks, whisk the eggs with salt in a small bowl until completely smooth. Melt a small amount of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in a thin layer of the whisked egg, swirling the pan to make a thin crepe. Cook for 1 minute, flip, and cook for 30 seconds more. Repeat to make 4 thin egg shells.
Plate
4
Lay the warm egg-crepe shells onto plates, spoon the crispy pork carnitas down the center of each, and fold them like street tacos.
